PREFACE. 



THE lines originally laid down for this Dictionary were, to prepare a revised edition of 
Johnson's enlargement of Wilkins-Richardson's Persian, Arabic, and English Dic- 
tionary, by reducing the Arabic element and increasing the Persian, so as to 
produce a volume of moderate dimensions and price, specially adapted to the wants of 
the English Student. While the work was progressing, however, it was found that the 
mere reduction of the Arabic portion would not suffice to answer the purpose intended. 
It became evident not only that much that was superfluous had to be eliminated, but 
that, on the other hand, many additions were urgently required, and furthermore that 
the material had to be re-arranged on new and distinct principles. At the same time 
it was Boon felt that the fresh matter to be introduced in the Persian part exceeded the 
limits contemplated, and necessitated in this respect a considerable extension of the 
primary plan. A few remarks on these points will here be useful, and may also convey 
some idea of the amount of extra labour spent on the compilation of the work beyond 
that which was originally anticipated. 

I. Persian is so deeply imbued with Arabic, and the two languages have, in the 
course of time, become so intimately connected in the literature of the former, that 
sooner or later the student of Persian must become a student of Arabic also, if he aspires 
to take rank as a Persian scholar of real eminence. When this moment has arrived, 
he will Daturally have need of an Arabic dictionary, constructed on a plan most conducive 
to the acquirement of that language, and based on the knowledge of its grammar. But 
what he will want until then is a copious Arabic vocabulary, " chiefly in relation (to 
quote Johnson's words) to the indefinite extent to which the best Persian writers avail 
themselves of the Arabic language, either to enrich their style or to display their 
erudition." While fully acknowledging the legitimacy of this object, it has nevertheless 
been thought that the accomplished and conscientious scholar who formulated it, in 
carrying out his task, haB partly gone beyond and partly fallen short of his own standard. 
He himself admits that he retained in his work not only " a large number of Arabic 
words of very questionable usefulness, merely because they had found a place in the 
former editions," but also added " many others which may possibly be foreign to Persian 
literature, but which may also he found in it, and of an explanation of which the student 
may occasionally stand in heed." To justify this somewhat haphazard mode of pro- 
ceeding, the plea " that superfluity appeared preferable to deficiency," would only hold 
good if this very indictment of deficiency in some essential points could not be urged 
against hiB compilation. 

It seemed more advisable to restrict the selection to such words as may either 
reasonably be supposed to occur in Persian authors, or which are actually found in the 
prescribed text-books, and in those productions of Persian literature, the perusal of which 
will be most beneficial to the student. In the former direction it appeared to the present 
author that a collection made by a learned Persian for the use of Persians had a para- 
mount claim to serve as a groundwork for this part of the undertaking. 'Abdu 'r-Rashid 
al-Husaini, the author of a highly-valued Peisian dictionary called the "Farhangi 
Eashidi," has made a collection of this kind under the title of " Muntakhabu '1-lughat," 
dedicated by him to Shah Jahan of Dehli. The following reasons have induced the 
author to embody the whole of this compilation in the present dictionary : — 

'Abdu 'r-R&shid professes in the introd uction to his work to have made from the 
"QamiiB," the "Surah," the " Sihah," and other sources, a selection of those Arabic 
words which are " necessary (zarurlyah) and of frequent use (kasiratu 'l-isti'maT}" and 
to have explained them in Persian equally " comprehensible to the popular understanding 
('dm-fahm) and approved by the educated (kJuLs-pasand) ." What he means by necessary 
and of frequent use becomes evident from the passages which he quotes in support of 
his explanations, and which are exclusively taken either from the chief Persian poets. 



VI PEEFACE, 



a8 Firdausi, Anwari, Khaqani, Nizami, Sa'di, Hafiz, Ac, or from the Qur'an and Hadig. 
This implies that the words selected by him are indispensable to a Persian of a studious 
turn of mind who is anxious to understand thoroughly the poetry of his own language, 
or who aspires to an initiation into the knowledge most highly prized "by Muhammadans, 
namely, that of matters theological, moral, and metaphysical, which abounds in quotations 
from and allusions to "the book" and the "traditions." If, therefore, an acquaintance 
with such words is considered indispensable to the Persian student, it must be so 
d fortiori to the student of Persian. 

The " Muntakhab," however, takes no notice of a large number of Arabic words 
which have become naturalized in Persian, to such a degree that a Persian of average 
education needed no explanation on their account. Foremost among these are many 
current technical and scientific terms. A discreet choice of vocables of this category 
was considered indispensable, especially in reference to grammatical and metrical ter- 
minology, with which a student must make himself acquainted if he wishes to understand 
the native commentaries on the great Persian poets. 

Still greater importance has been placed on including in this dictionary Arabic 
words in daily use, such as in reality are met with in the best Persian authors from 
the days of the " ShahniVmab " to the Riizniimahs (Diaries) of the reigning Shah. For 
this purpose their principal works, especially those read for examination, have been 
carefully gone through, with the result that the information given by Johnson under 
many of his Arabic headings has been largely supplemented by instances where the 
Arabic words enter into Persian phrases of a highly idiomatical character. 

There is yet one other point to be noticed with regard to the Arabic element 
in Persian. Not only isolated words have to be explained, but in numerous cases com- 
binations of words, that is to say, sentences or parts of sentences, either in quoting 
verbatim, or more frequently in merely alluding to, passages of the Qur'an, the " Tra- 
ditions," aad e?en of celebrated Arabic poems. To give a rather striking example, the 
Persian poet Minuchihri introduces in one of his odes the beginning of the " Mu'allaqah 
of Imru '1-Qais" : q\ffi. nahki, "stay ye two (friends or travelling companions) so that we 
may weep (in remembrance of the beloved, &c.)." The reader who would try to puzzle 
this out with the aid of Johnson's dictionary would find for qqfd (we must remember 
that in the printed texts the short vowels are not indicated) the equivalent " neck," and 
for nablc or nabak (here again the final short i does not count) the rendering " hills." 
Arabic plurals being frequently used as singular in Persian, he therefore might translate 
"the neck of the hill," and thus, speaking figuratively, find himself fairly landed in the 
wilderness. Only an intimate knowledge of Arabic grammar, which he must either possess 
himself, or which his dictionary must supply instead, can teach him that, in the first 
word, <he initial and, m the second, the final of the root is suppressed, and that they 
belong respectively to the radicals w-q-f "standing, stopping, staying," and h-h-y 
" weeping," while the «. at the end of qifa and the n at the beginning of nabki are 
extraneous signs of inflection. 

It may be objected that this is an extreme case, and that Minuchihri, although 
a distinguished Persian poet, is not likely to be read by a student. Granted ! But in 
the " Sikandarnfuna " of Niziimi, in the "Gulistiin" and " Bostiin " of Sa'di, in the 
"Diwsin" of Hafiz, in the "Anwari Suhaili," &c, &c, all of which form part of his 
curriculum, he will meet with many phrases and fragments of phrases, or even simple 
iza/« (-constructions, which require a similar elucidation, some of which have led to quite 
as ludicrous blunders as the one suggested above, while others have at least been 
strangely misunderstood in some of the best-known translations from the Persian, because 
the Arabic words were rendered according to their usually current meanings in Persian, 
and not in the specific Arahic sense, which they bear in the particular connection or 
context. On this point much labour has been spent in assisting the student, — the 
student, be it bere emphasized, who not merely crams for a more or less successful 
examination, but who works with steady and resolute self-exertion in order to become 
in time a scholar worthy of that name. 

II. As for the Persian part, great obligations are primarily due and gratefully 
acknowledged to the excellent Persian-Latin Dictionary, published by Yullers in about 
2,500 quarto pages. With infinite diligence the learned author baa overhauled the 
Persian lexicographical sources from which his predecessors, Johnson included, had worked 
before him, giving their explanations in the original, and adducing numerous supporting 
passages from them and his own collectanea. It lay, of course, outside the scope of 
the present work to follow him in this latter respect, but his results, as far as they

contained additional matter, were adopted, after having been in all eases verified, in 
some cases rectified, and supplemented with the necessary translation in other instances, 
where he omits to give the Latin equivalent for a Persian word or phrase, but contents 
himself with quoting the Persian text. By no means the least important feature of his 
work is the extensive use he has made of the " Bahari 'Ajam," one of the more recent 
Persian Dictionaries compiled in India, and including many modern phrases, metaphors, 
&c. not to be found in any other lexicon. Owing, however, to the circumstance that 
that hook did not reach Vullers' hand until the greater part of his first volume had been 
printed, he could not avail himself of the contents of its first 457 pages, and the very 
copious extracts given from this source in our Dictionary form not only an essential 
complement to Vullers, but an entirely new contribution to Persian lexicography on 
European soil. Other recent publications, consulted with advantage, are the Persian 
Dictionary " Farhangi Nasirl," and Schlimmer's " Terminologie medico-pharmaceutique 
Francaise-Persane," both lithographed in Teheran, the former in 1871, the latter in 1874. 

It need scarcely be mentioned that the course of reading undertaken to define 
the Arabic portion of this dictionary was equally productive in augmenting the Persian 
part, and it can be stated without exaggeration that thousands of words have been added 
from this source alone. Many of these are taken from Mirza Ja'far's translation of 
modern Plays, originally written in Turkish, a translation which, on account of its 
thoroughly idiomatic phraseology, has, in successive instalments within the last ten vears, 
been re-edited, with notes and vocabularies, in England, Prance, and Germany. A larger 
and more important amount, however, has been gleaned from the Shah's Diaries of his 
first two journeys to Europe in 1873 and 1878. Here we see Persia, in the person of 
its Sovereign, brought into immediate contact with the advanced civilization of the West ; 
and as this Sovereign happens to be an exceptionally keen observer, who turned the 
immense opportunities afforded to him by his exalted position to the best account, his 
impressions, penned down on the spur of the moment, could not fail to enrich and 
fertilise the language of his country, which he uses with such unpretending ease and 
forcible directness. 

III. There are a few more words to be said about the general arrangement of the 
book, in order to facilitate its use. It would have been impossible to introduce so much 
additional matter if all the entries under the principal headings had been given in 
the Oriental character as well as in transliteration. The latter had, therefore, to be 
framed not with a view to the exact pronunciation of the words, which in any language 
can only be acquired to perfection by oral teaching, but to give accurate equivalents 
for the graphical form of the consonants and vowels peculiar to the language in question. 

To render the consonants of the Arabic- Persian alphabet in the Roman character, 
as employed in English, five compounds had to be used, namely oh for g, gh for £, 
ik for t, sh for jS», and zh (pronounced like s in "vision") for j. Eight letters are dis- 
tinguished by diacritical points, namely h for C, * for \j> , s for \±>, t for t, z for j, 
? for y*, and z for k. The Greek spiritus lenis (') and spiritus asper (') very appro- 
priately represent *\ (alif-hamzak) and £ respectively, and tfi has been chosen to express 
the letter y before a labial. In the comparatively few cases where eh and zh are to be 
pronounced as separate letters, a mark is placed between (s ( /i or ii ( 7i), showing that the 
8 or z terminates one syllable, and the aspirated h begins another. 

The original Persian vowel-system is that of Sanskrit, with exclusion of the semi- 
vowel ri, which is peculiar to the latter. It consists of the three elementary vowels 
a, i, u, as pronounced in pat, ■pit, put respectively (in the Arabic- Persian character 
fathah ~, itasrafc — , zammah —) ; their long forms a, i, w, as in father, police, prude 
0— > csT, and their combination to mixed vowels and diphthongs, e (a + i) as in 
where, o (a ■+• w) as in more, both in Persian writing not distinguished from I and u ; 
ai (a + i) as in aisle, and aw (a + u) as in German, i.e. like on in stout and j— ). 

This etymological groundwork of the system, and it alone, determines our transliteration, 
leaving, as said before, the question of the actual pronunciation at the present day, 
especially of the short vowels, to the grammar and the instruction of a competent teacher 
whose proper domain it is. As for the representation of ^ and } , when used as con- 
sonants, the transliteration of the latter by w instead of v has been preferred on account 
of the analogy with y, except at the end of a Persian syllable or word, where v is 
written to indicate the somewhat stronger articulation of the letter in this case. 

The game need of compactness made it further necessary to unite all the different 
words of the same consonantal outline, which are distinguished merely by their vocalisation, 
under one heading. Many articles assumed thereby an almost inordinate length; but 



viii

in order to furnish the reader with a thread leading him safely through the apparent 
labyrinth, any shorter or longer string of constructions and phraseB belonging to one 
word has been included in crotchets, thus [ ], so that, -whenever the student meets 
with this sign, before the explanations given have satisfied his want, he has only to 
run down the column to the conclusion of the crotchet, when he will find another 
interpretation of the same outline with a different spelling and meaning, perhaps more 
in accordance with the exigencies of his text, and so on until the end of the article is 
reached. A similar use has been made of parentheses, thus (), where the Bame phrase 
may be expressed in various ways, by substituting one noun or verb for another, in 
which case any of the words thus bracketed may take the place of the word immediately 
preceding the parenthesis. 

Throughout the book a strictly alphabetical order has been observed, in accordance 
with the following simple rules: — 

1. Compounds have been given as much as possible in their proper order, unless 

they serve as examples under one or the other of their components. 

2. Any single noun forming part of a heading is first followed by such itafat 

constructions and phrases as begin with this noun in the order of the 
initial of the succeeding word; then by those in which the noun has a 
preposition or another noun in front, in the order of this preceding element, 

3. With regard to the izdfai constructions of Arabic words, those in which the 

governed noun has the definite article al are given in their alphabetical 
order in the place aseigned to the article, that is to say, at or near the begin- 
ning, while in absence of the article the initial of the noun itself determines 
the order. This has been done not only for the sake of maintaining the 
alphabetical principle in all its strictness, but also in order to show the 
student at one glance in which combinations the Arabic or Persian con- 
struction is more usual. Neither in this nor in other respects was a uniform 
principle of arrangement consistently adhered to by Johnson, whence arose 
the necessity of reconstruction, as mentioned on the title-page, and entailing 
an amount of labour which only one well versed in these matters can 
appreciate. 

Words of foreign origin are indicated by capital initials in front of the article^ 
as A for Arabic, G-. for Greek, H. for Hindi, II. for Mongolian, T. for Turkish, R. for 
Russian. Where merely an Arabic element, either as member of a compound or as a 
formative, combines with the Persian, or where a word is common to both languages 
without proof positive to which it belongs originally, a small a, has been prefixed, and 
so, mutatis mutandis, in the same case with regard to other languages. The indication, 
(m.c.) for "modern colloquialism" after a phrase, shows that it has been taken from 
recent writings, and does not necessarily imply that it is of modern make, but simply 
that it is in actual conversational use, while for all that it may be a Persian idiom 
already employed by Firdausi, or an Arabic importation as old as Islam itself. 

It is hoped that this Dictionary will justify its claim to comprehensiveness. 
It is not and cannot be complete. The complete dictionary of any language has yet to 
be written. It far exceeds the powers of any single individual, and depends for its 
realisation on the modest, although imperial, motto, viribus unitis. The author's only 
ambition was to advance the work close to the point at which the practical adoption of 
this motto, with regard to Persian, becomes a necessity, and should be seriously con- 
templated by Oriental societies and congresses. 

In conclusion, I have to express my warmest thanks to Mr. Frederic Pincott 
for his careful revision of the proofs, as well as for many a valuable hint on various 
important points, of which I have gladly availed myself ; and to his well-trained printers, 
for their intelligent and patient industry in setting up the copy, which I am afraid must 
frequently have proved a most trying task.

\ alif, the first letter of the Arabic and 
Persian alphabets, in arithmetic repre- 
sents the number one, and in almanacks

Taurus. It also denotes an unmarried 
man. In writing it sei'ves as a prop for 
the vowel-signs : \ a, \ i, \ u, )\ u, o, au, 

f, e, ai ; — \ a, at the beginning of some 
Persian words, denotes privation, as ajum-

whence the Persian ls~-N y% rozi alast, q.v. 
At the end of Persian words it marks the 
vocative, as in shtiha, O Shah, or it serves

j z, called zali manquta or zdli mu'jama, 
Dotted zdl, the eleventh letter of the 
Arabic-Persian alphabet, denoting in arith- 
metic 700, and in almanacks the last month 
of the Arabian year, zu 'l-hijjat, as \ j is the 
character used for zu 'l-qa*dat, the penulti- 
mate month. Scarcely more than one or 
two words in the Persian language begin 
with this letter, though it is occasionally 
found in the middle of a Persian word, 
where it interchanges with d and z. Accor- 
ding to some authorities, it should he 
written for d after a quiescent weak letter 
(shdz, namuzan, shaniz for shad, namudan, 
shanid), and may be written for d after 
any moved letter, not weak (baz or bad, 
&c). Its legitimate sound was, perhaps, 
somewhat like th in " that," but the Per- 
sians make but little, if any, difference 
between it and 3 zd, and accordingly call it 
also zd'i sakhiz (see ^}).

£ ' , called 'ami ghair manquta or 'aini 
mukmala, Undotted '«», The twenty-first 
letter of the Arabic-Persian alphabet, ex- 
pressing 70 in arithmetic. Like the hamxa, 
but in a stronger degree, it represents the

vowel at the beginning of a word or syl- 
lable, and hence the Greek spiritus asper 
(') has very properly been adopted as its 
representative, while the homogeneous letter 
hamza is now generally transcribed by the 
spiritus lenis ('). In the pronunciation of 
the Persians, as prosody proves, it is fre- 
quently not distinguished as a separate
